puduraya was then, now they call it TBS.


traveling by bus is my thing. cuma yang xtahannye the pain of the neck and the knee. duduk berjam-jam dalam bas memang lenguh-lenguh. macam nak teleng kepala pun ada jugak. from form 4 until now, i've been going back by bus. be it from negeri sembilan; bahau, seremban, downright to segamat and jb; or jb to sg petani. macam-macam jadi. & seriously the station should need some changes. like this one.



the ticket counter : it was so confusing at first. pheww. but then it was easy actually. you can go to any counter to show your tix. or when you don't have one,or about to purchase it, the officer will help you. the system is updated.you can choose your ticket like you're purchasing ones for the movie. the screen touch thingy is really useful. you got to choose your bus first, then the time, then the seat. oh ya. you've to present your ic upon purchasing it. oh sangat leceh lah bila fikir kan. but then after Q&A with the officer, it's actually for the security purpose. to ensure the record, in case anything happen. ok takpelah kannnnn.








the board : sooo airport-ish. padahla bus station jek. haha. maybe they wanted to standardize it. like kl central.




arrival platform : seee so canggih as to compared to puduraya then. aku yang termalu sendiri bila turun bas ada orang greet 'welcome'. alah tak ramai boleh la cube kalau dah banyak bas kat sini. confirm takde sape greet ala-ala dekat airport tu. but then it's quite teratur. turun dari bus then take the escalator to the arrival hall yang sejuk tuuu.





schedule board : this is quite a challenge for me to read and understand this. haha. the schedule keeps on changing that you have to have sharp eyes to get your gate for departure (like i did, luckily with some help from friends -__-  ). imagine that during that time only 8 bus companies punye schedule. kalau dah puluh? kalau dah ratus2? ha.








scenery : the bus terminal is located next to klia express and KTM komuter. it's quite convenient for people to go to other places once they arrive at the terminal. no need to worry.






e-ticket booth : i didn't try this one as i bought the ticket at the counter already. maybe it works like at the counter. but no person in charge of course. i'm quite scared to purchase anything by myself like this. the only thing that i'm confident with this system is online shopping. tu je. hehe.


though the terminal has been operating since early january, there's still few shops and few people. maybe soon that people will start realizing the existence of it. i heard that the rate is slightly higher. but then, why not for the comfort like this? maybe at first people complain on the difficulty of the procedures, but i hope that soon they will be grateful with it.

this entry was not made to criticize on how the current system works. it's just a bit of my opinion upon seeing changes in this country. every single thing has its pros and cons. and it depends on how you digest it.ayat essay.
